Expect a multi-media evening, featuring special guests poetry smashers 12 Gauge, Bad Idea Viking Sven Forkbeard, when local comedy masterminds Axis of Evil return to the Arts Centre.

Following Fringe sell-out success in 2007 and the success of the recent The Coalition, they'll be featuring a brand new full frontal assault together with the world premier of Ezra Productions' new film, Lying Low.

Expect tears and quite possibly laughter with supporting act 12 Gauge - Toadsuck, Missouri's premiere poetry boy band, unleash a deluge of redneck verse about life, love and finding religion in your friend's wife.

Life councillor and primitive savage Sven the Bad Idea Viking brings his video messages of advice and support for the young, innocent and disease vulnerable generation.

Then film premier Lying Low will be screened. This hilarious and surreal comedy from local filmmakers Ezra Productions, follows two young men on a deep undercover mission into the heart of weirdest suburbia.

Demonic landlords, death-defying living-room stunts and far too much sherbet dib-dab!

Last, but never least, it's the Complete Guide to The Arts.

Follow the gin glugging Mr Doper, bashful boy-toy Bobby, sidekick Burb and scientist Dr Sludgebucket as they take you on a tale of artistic endeavour throughout all of time.
